Free Bird Towards a Free Burma

By Daw Aung San Suu Kyi

My home...
where I was born and raised
used to be warm and lovely
now filled with darkness and horror.

My family...
whom I had grown with
used to be cheerful and lively
now living with fear and terror.

My friends...
whom I shared my life with
used to be pure and merry
now living with wounded heart.

A free bird...
which is just freed
used to be caged
now flying with an olive branch
for the place it loves.

A free bird towards a Free Burma.

 

Now go watch "Walk On." It'll make a lot more sense. "Unto Thee, Almighty - Thank You..."

This is a beautiful site and so moving. Freedom is never free and so many people seem to miss this message. To be born free is a luck of the draw. Your site communicates this in an eloquent way. I'll be by more often. Your message is inspiring and the written word is very important to make chnage happen.

Most sincerely,

Ella
